Multipurpose pedal

Abstract

A multipurpose pedal includes a spindle assembly and a pedal pivotally assembled with the spindle assembly. The spindle assembly includes a spindle adapting to assemble with a bicycle crank and a tube sleeved on the spindle. The pedal includes a first frame and a second frame mounted in the first frame. Multiple stubs are mounted between the first frame and the second frame. The multiple stubs are replaceable for providing multipurpose.

1. A multipurpose pedal, comprising:
 a spindle assembly, the spindle assembly including a spindle adapting to assemble with a bicycle crank and a tube sleeved on the spindle, the tube having a rib formed on an outer periphery thereof, the tube being rotatable relative to the spindle; 
 a pedal pivotally assembled with the spindle assembly, the pedal including a first frame and a second frame mounted in the first frame, each of the first frame and the second frame having a space defined therein, the second frame positioned in the space in the first frame, each of the first frame and the second frame having two connecting portion respectively disposed on two ends thereof, the first frame having a first wing and a second wing respectively formed on two sides thereof, the second frame having a third wing and a forth wing respectively formed on two sides thereof, each connecting portion having a spindle hole defined therein and extending therethrough for receiving the tube with the spindle, the two spindle holes in the first frame aligned to each other, the two spindle holes in the second frame aligned to each other, each spindle hole having at least one groove defined in an inner periphery thereof for movably receiving the rib, the two spindle holes in the first frame respectively aligned with the two spindle holes in the second frame, the tube with the spindle inserted into the two spindle holes in the first frame and the two spindle holes in the second frame, each of the at least one groove having a width greater than that of the rib such that the first frame and the second frame are restrictedly pivotable relative to the tube, the first wing of the second frame mounted on a top of the third wing of the first frame, the fourth wing of the first frame mounted on a top of the second wing of the second frame, the first frame and the second frame crossly assembled with respect to the tube, multiple stubs mounted between the third wing and the frost wing and between the fourth wing the second wing, the multiple stubs being replaceable to be multiple stubs having different rigidity for providing multipurpose. 
 
     
     
       2. The multipurpose pedal as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the stubs are elastomers and are compressible; wherein when the pedal is vibrated, the first fame and the second frame are approached to compress the stubs for absorbing vibrations to provide a shack-absorbed effect. 
     
     
       3. The multipurpose pedal as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein each spindle hole has a slot defined in the inner periphery thereof for correspondingly receiving the rib, when the rib is inserted into the slot of each spindle hole, the first frame and second frame are fixed relative to the tube for forming a stabilized structure. 
     
     
       4. The multipurpose pedal as claimed in  claim 1  further comprising a clipless pedal received in the space in the second frame for adapting to be assembled with a shoe, the clipless pedal having a spindle hole defined therein the extending therethrough, the spindle hole in the clipless pedal aligned with the two spindle holes in the first frame and the two spindle holes in the second frame, the spindle hole in the clipless pedal having a groove defined in an inner periphery thereof for correspondingly receiving the rib. 
     
     
       5. The multipurpose pedal as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the at least one groove has various width for selectively receiving the rib such that the first frame and the second frame are adjustably approached to each other for adjusting levels of the shack-absorbed effect.
